Popular ‘Goon’ Character ‘Buzzard’ Gets His Own Spinoff Title This June!

Fans of Eric Powell’s popular Dark Horse title ‘THE GOON’ will be happy to hear that starting in June the writer will be bringing readers an all new spin-off titled ‘BUZZARD’. Beyond the break you can find all the details on the project and the covers for the first issue that is due in stores on June 9th. “he Goon is a comic book series created by Eric Powell in March 1999. The story is about the adventures of the Goon, a muscle-bound brawler who claims to be the primary enforcer for the feared mobster Labrazio. The Goon (and his sidekick Franky) often get tied up in other machinations, often in relation to the evil zombie gangs under the command of the Nameless Zombie Priest.”

“The mysterious man known as Buzzard is lost, wondering what manner of creature he is, following his brutal showdown with the loathsome Zombie Priest in Eric Powell’s celebrated Goon Year.

Buzzard leaves home, wandering into the shadowy spirit realm of the forest. A dark path leads to a village living in fear of a bestial race of savages. More animal than man, these creatures hunt the villagers and drag them from their slumber in the depth of night.

As a bonus, readers will delight in the new Billy the Kid’s Old Timey Oddities short stories, which revive 2005 series that paired Eric Powell with artist Kyle Hotz and leads up to the three-issue series launch in September.”
